I’m sorry that we can’t hear more from Dr. McCarthy. I would really like to learn more about her ranking of neurotoxins and her many facts.

I’m glad to see that she has found a good use for one of the neurotoxins in her life. I would like to suggest that, if it is good for your face, then it would obviously be good for your brain. This is chance for Dr. McCarthy to test a whole new area of medicine for the benefit of all humanity!

I’m listening to a really old episode of SGU right now and some lady named Rebecca something said she was going to start a blog called Crap Based Medicine. Looks like you beat her to it, Dr. Sexy. Hey, since you’re a doctor, can I come to you for my Botox injections? ‘Cause I think I need a good dose of neurotoxins to make me pretty. Forget saving the lives of children and all that. Save all the needles for cosmetic purposes, I say.

“Last week, Britain’s General Medical Council ruled that Wakefield had shown a “callous disregard” for the children used in his study and acted unethically. Wakefield and the two colleagues who have not renounced the study face being stripped of their right to practice medicine in Britain.”

End Quote..

Another one of my favorite “celebrity scientists” of equal medical “bona fides” is the “Thigh Master” herself, Susan Somers.

Her rant against chemo-therapy and her riveting expertise extolling the benefits of alternative hormone replacement has been a real hit in the medical community and journalistic pundits alike…

It is a shame really. How many people will take her advice and discontinue chemo treatments because of what she is proposing. Hopefully, there won’t be many, but if one person takes her advice it is one person too many..

Same with McCarthy. When the Lancet study came out, parents in Britain stopped vaccinating. Measles made a comeback. The sad thing is that neither one of these so called “celebrities” will ever admit they made a mistake or take blame for any damage they might cause..

Thats my rant. Just my 1 1/2 cents worth..

This is Hannah Bevills, I am an editor with Hospital.com. We are a medical publication whose focus is geared towards promoting awareness on hospitals, including information, news, and reviews on them. Given the relevance of what you are offering from your site and what our mission is, I feel we may be able to collaborate in some way or another, I look forward to your response regarding the matter. Thanks!

I am at a point in my life I have a hard to believing anything that comes out of the mouth of medical science, celebrities, and politician’s, or any other self-appointed professional. Whether it’s their opinion, a theory, or a form of deceptive marketing campaign. Titles and degree’s mean nothing to those of us that really pay attention. So, for anyone to be surprised at such a statement (referring to McCarthy), is not up on human behavior as far as the mainstream or average goes. Just because someone goes to school, college, or is famous, that does not mean they are educated, share others peoples opinions, nor are they filled with wisdom.

Well, after all the fuss and muss that McCarthy and company made about this issue – winds up – as we all now know – that the gentlemen who spear headed the study – Dr. Andrew Wakefield – has had his research stripped from Britian’s medical journal of record, The Lancet.

And surprise, surprise..He is a “wee bit” dishonest…

Quote from the Chicagotribune.com, entitled: “Link between vaccines and autism discredited”. September 15, 2010|By Cory Franklin

“Earlier this year, the British medical journal Lancet, considered by many as the world’s most prestigious medical journal, retracted a controversial 1998 paper linking childhood vaccines to autism. The study was discredited, and its lead author, Dr. Andrew Wakefield, was cited for unethical action. The General Medical Council, which oversees doctors in Britain, called his conduct “dishonest and irresponsible.”

And – do we can an apology from Ms. McCarthy? I might have missed it, but I don’t think we have. Does she alert the public, or tell people that is alright to get vaccines again? That would be a negative. But, you can buy her new book: “Love, Lust & Faking It: The Naked Truth About Sex, Lies, and True Romance”.

Scientist, social psychologist, relationship expert, I mean – is there anything that this woman cannot do? Nuff said…..

I find this amusing, much of the input in support of medical science, like for chemo, that most doctors would not undergo themselves.. While no one should neglect getting professional help, we need to see the medical profession… as far as the pharmaceutical drug manufacturers and technology as they are, a business. I see people in full support of our medical science as if they have staked claim in it in some form. If medical science was out to cure anything, why bother making new drugs that are similar after their patent ends, and wasting the money? Because sick people, or those that never heal completely are the most valuable, where you make the most money. Does anyone know the amount of money collected each year for medical research from the day the began, to the present? It may keep a lot of medical scientist working, but it has done little to cure. Another thing of interest is how no one seems to want to look at the cause of these cancers and illnesses, and stopping what caused it to begin with. Covering these thing up so they are more bearable, so they can later get worst is not, to me the best one could hope for, nor what I consider curing. And lastly, if all prescriptions were safe as well as surgical procedures, how can lawyers be taking pharmaceutical companies to court so often? I think people believe too much of what they read or hear, just because the word research, or some form of credentials are presented in the information. Obviously the majority does not think that anyone in such a position would have any involvement in any thing deceptive or to do with an exchange of money. Anyone who things like that better wake up.
